This short film from the Meza-Valdes brothers is getting play all over the internet right now, but so what? The film gives us a very different perspective on your standard zombie apocalypse, and raises some dreaded concerns about what might happen to our beloved "best friends." Pets or Meat indeed. **Vegetarians, steer clear of this one. I even felt like becoming one after screening this short. Still not a fan of the cats vs. dogs dichotomy that seems to permeate our culture though.
The film is very genre sensitive, with homages to 28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead, among other well-known zombie epics. There's a nod to The Graduate too, as well as some romantic comedy hijinks between Princess and Nemo. This film is one of the shorts from Miami's Borscht festival, and you can see it and others online. Or here!
